An ant nest, if they will let me.
Good luck Ants don't trust Ants from other Colonies that look the same but have a slightly different scent. If you have a good Ant Disguise laying around you might be able to find what perfume they use and blend in with your fellow Ants.
@Gamers_Mate I've been pretty good to ants over the years so I was hoping they would recognise me from that. :)
@livus I see you are going for the Diplomatic approach.
@Gamers_Mate always!

@Bunnylux okay here's one: ants have hospitals where they treat wounded ants.
No way, really?
@Bunnylux really. Here's an article on it.
Holy crap, that's amazing.

Don't need to bring a disguise, you can build one. From corpses.
Just crush up some ants from that colony and rub the resulting paste over your body before you shrink down.
I traumatized myself by learning how brutal ant colonies are by reading Animorphs in 5th grade. Fucking brutal. I had nightmares about it.
